Every use of the next-gen LEGO sound brick so far
The next generation of the LEGO sound brick has proved its worth, appearing in a trio of builds with some differing uses between them.
After it was first spotted in early 2024, no one should have been able to guess just how far the next generation LEGO sound brick would go, and how useful it would be for some specific sets. The new sound brick is capable of holding more sounds than ever before, including longer clips, and combining sounds to form new phrases.
With its third appearance on the horizon, here’s where the next-generation LEGO sound brick has appeared so far and how it has been put to good use.
76429 Talking Sorting Hat
Pieces: 561 Price: £89.99 / $99.99 / €99.99
LEGO Harry Potter 76429 Talking Sorting Hat is the first set to feature the next-generation sound brick. The 2024 model uses the upgraded electronic element to speak various phrases, combining clips to determine which house you should be in. It’s an effective function that showcased the potential of the next-generation LEGO sound brick early in its life.
10334 Retro Radio
Pieces: 906 Price: £89.99 / $99.99 / €99.99
10334 Retro Radio is the perfect set for the next-generation LEGO sound brick, loading the element with the ability to play different stations and music on the radio. Alternatively, the model presents the option to load your phone inside and play whatever you’d like from it. This set demonstrates that the next-generation sound brick can hold more sounds than the last generation of the piece.
10358 Soundwave
Pieces: 1,505 Price: £159.99 / $189.99 / €179.99
LEGO Transformers is back with 10358 Soundwave, and it’s possibly the best use of the new sound brick to date. The sound brick in 10358 Soundwave includes voice clips of Soundwave and some of his memorable quotes to sound effects, and music notes from the 1980s cartoon, as well as some voice lines recorded exclusively for the set. It works perfectly in the model, as you can read in our review, showcasing just how special the new piece can make a build feel.
Both 76429 Talking Sorting Hat and 10334 Retro Radio are available now, and 10358 Soundwave will land on shelves on August 1.

kitt from knight rider needs to be built next in the icons car series using the new sound brick and light bricks too
That or a Speed Champions version would be great, but I guess you might got more minifigures with an Icons set.
